The 2025 Singapore Grand Prix delivered thrilling action and crucial moments in the Formula 1 season, with McLaren clinching the Constructors’ Championship and the Drivers’ Championship battle heating up.

George Russell’s dominant victory and Max Verstappen’s consistent scoring have shaken up the standings. While McLaren’s triumph marks their second consecutive Constructors’ title.

Drivers’ championship

The Drivers’ Championship is now a three-way battle between McLaren’s Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris, with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen closing in. Piastri leads with 336 points, followed closely by Norris at 314 points, a mere 22-point gap. Verstappen, with 273 points, has outscored the McLaren duo for the third consecutive race, making the championship fight tighter than ever.

George Russell, fresh off his remarkable victory in Singapore, sits in fourth with 237 points. His unchallenged drive over 62 laps erased memories of his heartbreaking crash on the final lap in 2023.

While Russell isn’t in the title conversation, his consistent points haul strengthens Mercedes’ position. Charles Leclerc (173 points) and Lewis Hamilton (127 points) round out the top six, but their championship hopes are fading.
